What are Points?

Points are a unit of measurement used in typography. One point equals 1/72 of an inch. One point is equal to 1/72 inch, and is used to define the size of text, line spacing, and other design elements in digital and print formats.

A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image or display. It represents a single point in a raster image or on a screen.
To convert points to pixels, use the formula: Pixels = Points × (PPI ÷ 72). For example, with 36 points at 96 PPI, the result is 48 pixels.
PPI (Pixels Per Inch) determines the pixel density of a screen or image. It influences the conversion accuracy between points and pixels.
The standard PPI value for most screens is 96. This value is often used as a default for point-to-pixel conversions.
